Richmond House Writtle
.....1886
Birth of Adelaide Musgrove
This
interesting birth certificate (above) shows the Musgrove's on the
move again. When their daughter Adelaide was born on twenty sixth
July
1886
the family were living in a house in Baddow Road, Great Baddow
as
shown on
the
birth certificate. When the birth was registered on seventh of
September 1886 the family had
moved to the
Essex village of Writtle and were resident in an imposing Georgian
property called Richmond House overlooking the green. The property
was previously used as the residential part of a private school
for young ladies ran by a Elizabeth Watkins. The school had closed
by
the time George and his family moved to Writtle. The main school
building was demolished and replaced by the buildng on the left
which is now a
post office. The old photo below shows Writtle Green about 1920.
